Apple: New iPhone demand is 'incredible'

4.8
The iPhone 5s went on sale today, as did the iPhone 5c, though pre-orders had been available for a week. Stopping short of releasing any concrete sales numbers, Apple did say that demand so far has been pretty good. Apple usually doesn't announce numbers until after launch weekend.

“Demand for the new iPhones has been incredible, and we are currently sold out or have limited supply of certain iPhone 5s models in some stores,” an Apple representative told AllThingsD.

Indeed, it didn't take too long for Apple to sell out of the new iPhone model on launch day. All models of the space gray (black) and silver (white) iPhones have shipping dates pushed back 7 to 10 days, while all models of the gold iPhone won't ship until October. Every color and model of the iPhone 5c won't ship for one to three business days either, but that's not too much of a delay. Typically, products that are fully in stock will ship from Apple within 24 hours.

Apple CEO Tim Cook also made an appearance at the at the Apple retail store in Palo Alto, Calif., where he shook hands and talked with some customers. As one might expect, the line stretched as far as the eye can see this morning.

OmittingCoder Maybe if Apple didn't overprice all of their items I'd consider it. Apple=Crap Company


How are you that stupid? iPhones are the same price or less than the HTC One and Galaxy S4. Learn how to Google please


S4 is priced at 199.99 with contract.
It's specs are
Display size (inches): 5.0
Resolution (pixels): 1920x1080 HD Super AMOLED (441 ppi)
Colors: 16 million
Chipset: Qualcomm MDM9215 + APQ8064T
Processor: 1.9GHz Quad-core
RAM: 2GB
Camera: 13MP

iPhone 5S is priced at $199.
It's specs are:
Display Size (inches): 4
Resolution (pixels): 1136-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi
Chipset: A7 + M7
Processor: 1.6GHz Dual-core
RAM: 1GB
Camera: 8MP

So technically it is overpriced.


apple products are always overpriced


Agreed, people just buy apple products because their apple products.


1. Look at the unlocked prices, not the locked ones.
2. iOS does not need quad core because it does not waste as much as Android does.
3. Now there is 64 bit and iWork comes free with all new iPhone 5S'. Games will run smoother.

Sorry iFanboy but when phones go for close to a thousand dollars at release you are just throwing your money into a hole.

You moron, the equivalent flash memory size unlocked HTC One and unlocked S4 are the exact same price, or cost just more than. Learn how to look up the facts before typing and making yourself look stupid, Droidfag.

You're clearly delusional. Just take your shit phone somewhere else.

IOS 7 is Apple's version of Andriod. Lmao.

People are ALWAYS butt hurt when you show them the evidence that Andriod is better (or the OS is).

People only buy the iPhone because of the looks. I will never buy one.

That's not really that surprising to me. It is like a new COD coming out. Everyone will love it then break it and wish they didn't get it.

Lightyear I would like to have the new iPhone, but I can't be asked to pay that much money for a phone.


I know, the price is the killer for most.


I would get the next iPhone but it does not appeal to me that much anymore I have no idea what phone I will be getting next but as in the console war there is always another war going on with the smart phones and computers Android-iOS = Never ending war.

Gossip I wish I had one but they are pricey. Almost $1000 for the 64 GB -.-


Are you high, it's $850, not $100.

McNuggets_Jr The only new feature is the fingerprint scanner...


Are you dumb? It's the first 64 bit smartphone on the planet, has the best flash system of any smartphone on the planet, and is twice as fast as the iPhone 5. Do your research before making stupid posts.


You do realize a "64 bit smartphone" means nothing, correct?


Yet again, if you do not know how big it is that this is the first 64 bit smartphone, then you should not be commenting.....

Meh the new fingerprint sensor is the only thing new in the phone I will not be buying it. I think I will be buying the S4, but it is good that the demand is high for the phones.

Waste of money. Same as the iPhone 5 except for fingerprint feature.
